yiqibushenhuoxue decoction

Yiqibushenhuoxue decoction is a traditional Chinese herbal formula used in the context of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is prescribed as an adjunct to conventional therapy (e.g., salmeterol) to potentially improve patient symptoms, quality of life, and reduce dyspnea on exertion, although evidence for direct improvement in lung function parameters (FEV1, FEV1/FVC) is lacking[3][6]. The decoction is not clearly standardized, and its specific ingredient composition is not detailed in the available literature for this particular name. Its formulation is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles to supplement Qi, tonify the kidneys, and activate blood circulation (Yi Qi, Bu Shen, Huo Xue).
